Learning PostgreSQL at the Big Nerd Ranch

"The training was structured to teach as much about PostgreSQL administration as possible in five days. It even says so on my diploma. There is room for 12 in the class, but only 11 participated in this class. The organizers provided two manuals so we could follow their lesson plans and walk through the related exercises. On the last day of the class, we received a CD with the course materials, slides, documentation and even some photos we had taken during the week. Thanks to the generous (free) licensing of PostgreSQL, the lessons often included the official documentation for commands relevant to that lesson. This was their first time training for PostgreSQL 8.0, which still is in beta, so there were occasional minor mistakes in slides and manuals."Story
